I added another "cover" to my Alan Moore Supreme collection. The full cover was actually on 2 pieces of art board. I had one piece and never knew if the other piece even existed (or it was from interior panel pages) but fate has a way of working out and the rest of the cover found it's way to me!

When I was growing up I loved anything with the NASA Space Program. One of the ways the astronauts trained for missions in space was to ride in the "Vomit Comet". Which was able to duplicate weightless environment or zero-g. As a kid I always dreamed of going into space and training on the "Vomit Comet", fast forward and for my 50th birthday I was able to fly ZERO-G. I got to experience weightlessness zero-g, along with 1/6 (Mars) and 1/3 (Lunar) gravity. It was one of the most amazing experiences.
In the latest Signature HA auction was a Sky Masters daily featuring Major Sky Masters and Mayday flying in the "Vomit Comet". I am thrilled to now be the new owner, perfect way to cap my turning 50 this year.
I am looking to complete the sequence, looking for Sky Masters Dailies 3/23/59-3/26/59. Email me if you know where one is. Thanks.

I too dreamed of being an astronaut and my three years working for a NASA contractor on the Space Shuttle are a very pleasant (if distant memory) so I can understand your thrill. Congrats, @Brian Peck.

These are my first two pieces of OA (or preliminary cover), so please be kind. Two of my favorite artists.... first, the OA for Love and Rockets #15, page 5 by Jaime Hernandez. Also, the preliminary sketch for Mr. and Mrs. X #1 Variant cover by Mike Mayhew @mikemayhewstudio

At the annual Gothenburg Book Fair in September I bought several pieces of OA from swedish comic artist Oscar Hjelmgren. Among them was this opening splash from his comic A.M.O.K. which features antrophomorphic animals and runs in every issue of the Herman Hedning comic book (it was published in issue 8/2014):

It is a hommage to the science-fiction movies of the 1950's and I believe he managed to cover quite a lot in one picture. Click on it for a larger scan in my CAF gallery.
